Prospective Students

Brass Auditions

In addition to applying for admission to the University, all applicants interested in pursuing a music degree must perform an audition on
their major instrument prior to their first semester enrolling in music courses. Schedule
your audition by filling out the Online Audition Application (must be submitted no later than one week prior to the audition date). Auditions
serve admission and placement purposes, and are also for talent scholarship consideration.

should prepare the following:

Scales
